Zhou Zhou listened to Hua Yan's detailed account, and instead of getting angry, he laughed.
"I never thought there'd be a day when even Queen Meng gets overwhelmed, hahaha. No wonder she's suddenly doing something so out of character for her status. It seems your acting has threatened her, putting pressure on her, leading to frequent mistakes!"
"Put more bluntly, it's clear that when the acting duel ought to be at its peak, someone couldn't match your performance. The contrast becomes obvious. However, she's too embarrassed to repeatedly tell everyone that she's not in a good state today. So she found an excuse for herself to step down, although this excuse seems outlandish to others. Yet it fits her usual overbearing behavior as Queen Meng. Look, now she's driven you away, and today's scene is left unresolved, isn't it?"
After listening, Hua Yan merely let out a soft 'heh...' to express her sarcastic disdain.
